Jonathan Kuttab on Defending Palestinian human rights: what role for the U.K.?


Listen Later

In light of the Israeli Government decision to designate 6 Palestinian human rights organisations as “terrorist”, Jonathan Kuttab has kindly agreed to devote the first part of his talk on Thursday at 3 pm (U.K.) to this crisis. Jonathan co founded al-Haq, one of the 6 organisations targeted by Israel.


He will update us on the situation, and propose ways in which civil society – including the Churches - and Parliamentarians should work to oppose this decision.

Before taking questions, Jonathan will speak briefly on his original theme: Beyond the Two-State Solution.


Jonathan Kuttab is co-founder of the Palestinian human rights group Al-Haq and Nonviolence International. He is also Executive Director of Friends of Sabeel North America.

A well-known international human rights attorney, Jonathan practices in the US, Palestine and Israel. He serves on the Board of Bethlehem Bible College and is President of the Board of Holy Land Trust. Jonathan was the head of the Legal Committee negotiating the Cairo Agreement of 1994 between Israel and the PLO. After graduating with his Doctor of Jurisprudence (JD) from Virginia Law School, and practicing a couple years on Wall Street, Jonathan returned home to Palestine. Jonathan was visiting scholar at Osgoode Law School at York University in Toronto in the Fall of 2017, and is a founding director of Just Peace Advocates Mouvement pour une Paix Juste, a Canadian based international law human rights not-for-profit organization. Jonathan is a resident of East Jerusalem, and is a partner of Kuttab, Khoury and Hanna Law Firm in East Jerusalem.
